out of this mess.

Right?

Okay.

(LAUGHING) Come on.

Well, there.

That's the way

you open that sh*t.

Yeah.

Oh, God!

Oh! Sh*t!

Oh!

(LAUGHS)

So, now what?

Plenty of people to get it.

Ah-ha!

Yeah.

Oh, sh*t.

Wait. I have a different operator.

No connection.

Maybe I have a connection.

No, no, no, it's dead.

Totally.

The only solution is

for one of us

to go back to that gas station

to get help.

Oh, I think we should go together.

And leave the car with all of

our stuff out for grabs?

But Sandra, we haven't seen a

living soul since we got

stuck out here.

No. But the car

is my responsibility.

Responsible for what?

For this?

Don't start.

Yeah, I'm responsible.

(SIGHS)

You know what? You stay here,

keep an eye on the car,

while I go get help.

Come on,

work with me here.

Okay, I'll stay here

and watch the car.

That's my girl.

I'll be back

before you know it.

Be careful.

(EXHALES)

(TURNS ON RADIO)

(STATIC)

Is there anything that works

in this piece of junk?

(EXCLAIMS IN FRUSTRATION)

(EXHALES)

(HORN HONKING)

Hey, hey, hey!

Wait! Get back here!

Sh*t!

(HORN HONKING)

Hey! Hey! I need help!

Hi.

-Hi.

I'm sorry, miss, I was distracted.

I was having some trouble

with the radio and I didn't see you.

I didn't expect to see

anyone out here, really.

Nobody comes this way anymore.

No sh*t. So I've noticed.

But I was wondering where's Sandra?

I mean, our car broke down

and she went to your gas station

trying to get help.

I didn't see anyone on

my way down here.

Besides, I'm not coming

from the gas station.

I just got back from visiting

a sick friend

and was on my way to get

some groceries.

So, let's take a look at

that car of yours.

Thanks.

This is a fine piece of machinery.

The engine sure has

seen a lot of wear and tear.

Now...

Right.

Is it bad?

Not really.

See this rubber hose here?

It burst.

And I need to replace it.

I can fix it with

some duck tape for now.

But you might consider

coming back to the station.

So that I can replace

the whole thing.

It will probably double

the value of your car.

Yeah, I should

go back there anyway.

Sandra's probably there waiting

for you to get back.

Probably.

All set.

Just follow me.

Thanks.

(ENGINE STARTS)

No trace of your friend?

No.

And I didn't see her

along the road either.

Take a look inside.

Maybe Martha's seen her.

Yeah.

Oh, can you please fill her up?

You got it.

(CLANKING)

(GROWLING)

MARTHA:
Oh, not again!

If you have to destroy

everything you touch...

Look at this damn mess

you've made again.

Sh*t! Not again.

And with a customer

in the store, too.

MARTHA:
And who has to

clean up the mess as usual?
